CLASSIFICATION OF INDIAN BASMATI RICE USING DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING AS PER INDIAN EXPORT RULES

The aim of this paper is classification of Indian Basmati Rice using image processing techniques. Prior to export, for quality control and inspection, classification of Indian basmati rice is done as per the parameters defined in notification number 67, dated 23rd January, 2003. Classification of rice is done visually and manually by human inspectors. The decisions taken by human inspectors may be affected by external factors like tiredness, bias, revenge or human psychological limitations. We can overcome this by using image processing techniques. Digital Image processing can classify the rice grain with speed and accuracy. Here we discuss the different parameters used to classify the Indian basmati rice as per Indian export rules.
